Hemp

We Fight
For The Users
Have you ever wanted to make drinks without alcohol and want to use hemp instead?

Shake, stir, or blend hemp powder in your favorite drink and enjoy a divine experience. This food science innovation uses a proprietary hemp emulsion technology to dissolve nano-sized oil droplets in water, called a nanoemulsion. We use all-natural ingredients and are the gold standard for food and beverage formulations infused with cannabinoids like Delta-8 THC (D8). These artisan hemp powders are 10X stronger than current edible products (mg vs. mg) and 2X stronger than smoking or vaping. Food Science Rocks! Consumers should have the right to drink a healthy alternative to alcohol without bias. Experience the best water-soluble cannabinoids on the planet, exclusively at Le Herbe.

Bioavailability

There's a reason why every pharmaceutical company in the world is obsessed with the absorption of drugs, or bioavailability. The majority of hemp producers and processors put a ton of hard work into growing hemp, extracting oil, and creating a consumer packaged good (CPG), but they naively chose not to research what happens when humans consume hemp in edible form. Sorry if you're offended, but check your ego at the door. Figure 1 highlights the bioavailability of hemp delivery systems. Oil-soluble formulations are ineffective and very wasteful.

Power to
the People

Figure 1: Highlights bioavailability (%) of oil-soluble formulations (tincture, gummy, chocolate) vs. inhalation (vape) vs. water-soluble formulations (Le Herbe) vs. intravenous administration (IV). Disclaimer: IV is shown for educational purposes only; please don't use this delivery system or think we advocate for it.

Onset Effect

A major obstacle holding back the hemp industry from mainstream acceptance was a slow onset effect from consuming edibles. Figure 2 shows that oil-soluble formulations take 1-2 hours before you can feel the effect after oral consumption and last up to 4-6 hours. Le Herbe solved this problem with a hemp delivery system called a nanoemulsion in 2015. Consumers now have 5-10 minute onset effects thanks to The Art and Science of Cannabis Beverages. Le Herbe's water-soluble cannabinoids start to dissipate within an hour, just like alcohol. No award or recognition necessary.

Fast-Acting
vs
Long-Lasting

Figure 2: Comparison of hemp metabolites in the blood as a function of time, water-soluble formulations (fast-acting) vs. oil-soluble formulations (long-lasting). Le Herbe's water-soluble formulations come on quick and start to dissipate within an hour, just like alcohol. We can combine fast-acting and long-lasting for a wide variety of custom effects.

Le Herbe has spent 9 years mastering hemp pharmacokinetics (how humans affect cannabinoids) and continues to research hemp pharmacodynamics (how cannabinoids affect humans) in order to move our industry forward. We need to care more about our customers and formulations and less about fancy packaging.

FAQs

Is delta 8 THC legal in USA?
What are hemp derived cannabinoids?
Le Herbe has a rare collection of high purity cannabinoids extracted from sun grown hemp. The most well know cannabinoid is CBD, but this beautiful plant has more than 150. Each cannabinoid has a specific effect in an isolated form and/or in combination with other cannabinoids, terpenoids, or flavonoids.
What is the difference between hemp and cannabis?
The law in USA clearly defines hemp as less than < 0.3 % delta 9 THC and defines cannabis as more than > 0.3 % delta 9 THC on a dry weight basis. Both terms relate to the same plant species, but the main difference is the chemical constituents.
How do you make hemp water soluble?
Le Herbe makes a hemp emulsion that is dispersible in water. The resulting liquid emulsion is then spray dried to form a water soluble cannabinoid powder. You can learn more about how we make cannabinoids water soluble by reading our legendary white papers.
  1. The Art & Science of Cannabis Powder
  2. The Art & Science of Cannabis Beverages
How should I consume hemp powder?
Based on our bioavailability research (AUC), Le Herbe recommends consuming water soluble hemp powders in your favorite drink before eating a high fat meal. Intermittent fasting is a viable alternative to promote autophagy.
What is the onset effect of water soluble cannabinoids?
Le Herbe's hemp derived cannabinoids have an onset effect of approximately 5-10 minutes (Fast Acting). Results may vary if your feasting or fasting, metabolism, genetics, etc.
What is the offset effect of water soluble cannabinoids?
Le Herbe's hemp derived cannabinoids have an offset effect of approximately 1-2 hours. The peak effect is around 30 minutes and it slowly dissipates.
What is the onset / offset effect of current edibles?
The majority of current edible products use oil soluble formulations (Hemp 1.0 / Legacy Products). They have an unpredictable onset effect (1-2 hours) and variable offset effect (2-4 hours). In addition, you do not absorb the amount of hemp stated on your product label.
What is bioavailability?
Bioavailability is defined as the percentage of a drug dose that is able to enter circulation intact after it has been administered. The four main modes of drug delivery are intravenous, inhalation, transdermal, and oral.
What is the bioavailability of oil soluble edibles?
If you purchase a 10mg hemp edible that is formulated oil soluble then you are only consuming approximately 1.5mg of the active ingredient (i.e., CBD). The other 8.5mg is excreted from your body before you can absorb it. You just paid for 10mg of CBD, but you only absorbed 1.5mg of CBD.
How do you obtain a bioavailability rating?
Hemp producers / processors will have to develop an in vitro gastrointestinal model in order to obtain an accurate rating (i.e., 78.4%).
How do you grow your hemp?
Le Herbe blends high quality plant genetics, biodynamic farming, sun grown hemp, designer extracts, and all-natural ingredients in our artisan hemp powder.
What kind of hemp extract do you use?
Le Herbe uses hemp derived hash rosin, live rosin, isolate, live resin, badder, distillate, and/or shatter. It is a proprietary hemp extract and may include a variety of cannabinoids, terpenoids, and flavonoids.
How long does it take for the powder to dissolve?
Complete dispersion or dissolution of the Le Herbe's water soluble powder will be accomplished within a few seconds in warm liquid and in about 30-60 seconds in cold liquid.
How do you formulate colors?
Le Herbe's team of acclaimed food scientists utilize fruit and vegetable colors in our water soluble powders. It includes anthocyanin, lycopene, algae, and carotenoid. The current organic portfolio contains blues, reds, yellows, oranges, and purples. They are flavorless and odorless.
What is micro and nano?
Le Herbe uses particle engineering in order to miniaturize cannabinoids and thus make it more effective. Micrometer (µm) is usually a powder measurement because the particles are larger. Nanometer (nm) is usually a liquid measurement because the particles are smaller. Both size measurements can refer to percentiles (D10, D50, D90), average weighted by surface area (D[3,2]), average weighted by volume (D[4,3]), thickness of a particle shell, microparticle (powder), and/or emulsion (liquid). Did you know that there are over 1,000,000 particles in a pinch of our water soluble powder (1g).
How do you measure particles?
Le Herbe measure hemp microparticles (powder) with laser diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). We measure a nanoemulsion (liquid) with multi-angle dynamic light scattering (MADLS). The instrument uses MIE theory and includes back (173°), side (90°) and front (13°) scattering data for an accurate measurement.
Why is particle size important?
  1. Critical to bioavailability
  2. Critical to stability
  3. Critical to solubility
  4. Critical to dissolution
  5. Critical to uniformity
  6. Critical to processability
  7. Critical to appearance
What are a few critical material attributes ?

Le Herbe recommends the following critical material attributes (CMA) for hemp powder manufacturers.

  • Particle Size
  • Particle Shape
  • Particle Size Distribution
  • Fines / Oversize
  • Cohesive / Adhesive Properties
  • Moisture Content
  • Electrostatic Properties (Zeta)
  • Bulk / Tapped / True Density
  • Wettability
  • Dispersibility
  • Solubility
  • Flowability
  • Stability
  • Compactibility
